Turning back the clock

This clock found its way from a old cargo ship, through Bangladesh and into my dining room via the Pretty Dandy Flea (where it was traded in exchange for a Circus Triangles Cushion).

It was made in 1982 and when the ship was dismantled, it was one of the lucky parts to be salvaged. It used to be wired up to captain's clock, to make sure all the clocks on the ship told the same time as the ship passed through different time zones. Now it will serve the important task of overseeing our breakfast and helping us get to school on time. Isn't it beautiful?
